Player Features and Ideas Discussion

So lately it seems that a lot of the new stuff added caters to new players, which is understandable. However, for players that have been playing for years doesn't seem to get any expert level content added for them.
What kind of content would you guys like to see? Sleeper Incursions? Ships that require high levels of focused training? System lockdowns?

Good point there. Nothing at all outside of what players can provide themselves?

Probably stuff that fixes all the shiite that has been broken for years. POSes, sov, moon goo, ship imbalances, etc. They've been doing a pretty good job with the tiericide so far. Let's hope it keeps up.

I guess a better way of putting it would be - improvements to the existing mechanics rather than shiny new toys.

WiS of course.

Also new type of space without gates to allow actual exploration activities, contraband, player "cities" etc. - i.e. better sandbox.

Assuming that by "gates" you mean the bottlenecks between solar systems, those are designed to facilitate player-player interactions. Without them, "non-consensual PvP" would be a thing of the past lol. If you just mean stargates, go to wormhole space :P

I'd like to see some sort of cyno-jamming module that goes on a ship instead of on a POS. It would be a serious tactical advantage though so it would need some significant balance oriented restrictions.

EDIT: as a rough guide...
would appear on OV like a cyno so everyone in system can warp to it
would render ship unable to move and unable to receive remote reps
would require a significant amount of fuel so it cant be perma-run
would have a long enough cycle time to make it impossible to cycle down, get repped up and cycle up again ilike a HIC
would have fitting requirements such that you couldnt spam a system with a bunch of cheap T1 frigs/cruisers using these things

So wormholes?

Expand invention to include player designed meta 8/9 modules that don't fit into the tiers that are established.

Example:

TA's Modified Gyrostabilizer
1.09x Damage Modifier
11.5% ROF bonus

This allows for branching of player combat doctrine based on specific invented mods.

rebalancing as mentioned above. i think ccp is well on their way to doing that and doing a damn fine job.


things i would like to see:
i would like to see lp earned from npc corps for npc space that will allow us to upgrade npc systems.
we can still fight over it, but its more costly to maintain because one must pay a certain amount of lp or tags or something each week to maintain.

gives better grav or combat sites.

this would give smaller corps the ability to do as they please without having to hold sov or rent. they can "rent" from
blood raiders or whomever holds the npc space. this would bring missions runners into an alliance with mining corps in low sec.
the miners build better ships and give discounts to the missioners, missioners keep the lp going for the upgrades. it would make
for strange bed fellows. the lp would not really be purchased, but a silent thing. run a mission, receive xx payout, xx bonus,
xx lp and xx renter points. once renter points are paid, then the groups doesnt have to run anymore. make it a combo of
renter points and cash or something...whatever.

i personally would like to see the sov mechanic for supers and titans go away or a group can rent (as mentioned above) and
get a super cap upgrade from npc's. it would be REALLY expensive to maintain but, you could rent a system from an npc corp
and upgrade as null sec. smaller corps should be able to build supers without being in a huge alliance. as renters, usually, they cannot. so with the above mentioned change, smaller groups will be able to catch up in power, large groups will be forced to fly to all 5k systems and search each moon for upgrades.
if not, a smaller group sneak builds a death star and now they have a tad more power.

sov mechanics work great for large groups to stay in power. once there, its hard to dethrone you. so, we need to be able to build ships in secret. u find em, u kill em same as normal, but it would keep the bigger guys on their toes and shake up the balance of power.

Removal of the attribute implants. Give everyone +5 across the board and be done with it. Now you have 5 more implant slots to improve your ship with. This would also remove the penalty many have associated with pvp, and might even get some of the bears into null that so many of you desperately want.

Also lower clone costs even more.

Pirate Faction FW.
Navy Dessies (only those are missing from sub cap navy lineup)
Pirate Dessies + Pirate BC's - more pirate ships was never bad idea :D
